  Absolutely amazing! My driver (Eric) was the best! The lodge was super nice people and the food was great! Internet was a bit flakey due to constant power outages but that didn’t bother me Gorillas were super cool!!!

  Jackson was an excellent host, tour guide and operator. Very professional. Gorilla trek was beyond amazing. Elizabeth and her staff at Rushaga Gorilla Camp took very good care of us.

  Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. Pre tour discussion with Edison was excellent - advised on logistics and was prompt and polite. We got advised on extra excursions and could pay in advance. Our guide Amanya went above and beyond to give us the most unforgettable experience. Lodgings were comfortable with super friendly staff, food was great, we were well hydrated with water and had a comfy vehicle for some bumpy roads. We just can’t thank you enough and cannot rate more highly. Have already recommended to friends. PS of course the gorillas were outstanding too!

  My guide, Herbert, was excellent. Always early, knowledgeable about the countries/locations we were visiting, and very kind. Him and the team pulled strings to get me a gorilla trekking permit last minute. I had a WONDERFUL time and wish I could have stayed longer. Highly recommend - as a woman traveling alone I felt safe and comfortable the entire time.

  Our guide Jackson was excellent in every way. Very knowledgeable of both Uganda and Rwanda. He made the tour and trek a seamless experience and we couldn’t think of anything to improve about the experience. Thank you Jackson!

  This was one of the highlights of my trip. Seeing the mountain gorillas that close was so amazing. Bamboo Eco-tours as a company was very professional and communicative. What drew me to them was their embracing of the local Ugandan community. Edison the owner was very responsive, polite, and flexible when my other safari got cancelled/rearranged. And of course Herbert my driver/guide was amazing, informative and great to talk to. (It is a long drive back and forth from Kigali :). The accommodations are quite basic compared to some of the other tours that you do the hike with, but everything was great. I couldn’t recommend them more!

  We had such a wonderful experience on the Gorilla Trek. Our guide, Godfrey was amazing. He was so insightful and made sure that we were comfortable and happy on every step of the trip. I honestly cannot fault him. He even found us a great local restaurant to eat lunch at on the way to Bwindi The Gorilla Trek was wonderful too, it was definitely an experience we won’t soon forget and we're very glad we chose to go with Bamboo Ecotours.

  Communication was easy from beginning, Edison was fast to reply and briskly adjusted itinerary according to our wishes. I must say I was little hesitant to do the whole payment in advance but it went smoothly. We did the gorilla trekking in Bwindi, visited local family run coffee plantation, did amazing Batwa tour in Mgahinga and paddled around Mutanda lake. The highlight for us was the interaction with the locals - with incredibly friendly and hospitable family at the coffee plantation and meeting the Batwas who were really enjoying the moments they could show us how they had lived not so long ago. I believe for kids it would be unforgettable experience. Our guide Joseph gave us detailed explanation on anything we asked, our driver Herbert was very warm and friendly and drove us safely and easily on every kind of road (and the roads are pretty challenging there;-) If you are going to Kigezi (region around Kisoro) Bamboo ecotours is an operator you should consider, they come from the region, they know the place very well and you can be sure your money is helping the local people and region which belongs to the poorer parts of Uganda.
